Understanding the role of Enterococcus faecalis in polymicrobial wounds by Davient, Bala

“…Taken together, based on the experiments performed in this dissertation, I propose that the MPT system may not be directly regulating E. faecalis T7SS gene expression, but indirectly, likely through sensing the energy status of the cell. …”

Pnictogen-halide semiconductors for photovoltaics by Liu, P

“…I obtained pinhole-free morphology through hot-casting at 110 °C and chlorobenzene antisolvent treatment during spin coating, but the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) obtained for these devices were still poor. It is likely that device performance is fundamentally limited by short charge-charrier transport lengths, such as through carrier localisation and/or exciton formation. …”

Coordinated power management for islanded microgrids by Lin, Pengfeng

“…To meet the requirements of growing subgrid capacities, instead of frequently upgrading a single BIC, a more likely way is to deploy multiple BICs connected in parallel to stack up the power exchange capacity between AC and DC subgrids. …”
